[QUOTE="isoChron, post: 995979, member: 5927"] 1. Heat Metal on the Fullplate wearing fighter 2. Grease on the fullplate of the fighter 3. Ignition with Aganazzar's Scorcher, or Burning Hands or the like 4. Lift Off ... :) Grease won't burn if it covers the floor except the floor is hot enough to EVAPORATE the grease. Not liquid grease is burning but grease in gaseous form. That's why you must heat grease to ignite it ! Now gasoline evaporates at room temperature, so no problem igniting it. Diesel oil is a little bit harder to ignite. Fill diesel oil in a flat bowl and try to ignite it with a match you throw in ... Hard, isn't it ? Now if you hold a lighter long enough near it it will catch fire sooner or later. Wax ... Heat on the candle wick will liquefy and then evaporate the wax before it will burn. Note... the candle itself won't burst into flames, just the wick will provide enough surface to hold the flame. (Organic) grease is somewhat easier to ignite than wax. But you still have to produce a significant amount of heat to evaporate (and thus be able to ignite) it. Now the flaming grease must constantly produce enough energy (heat from exothermic oxydation) to evaporate the thin layer of grease on the (still) cold rock surface. It could be hard to burn the grease hot enough to keep the flame burning ... or add some wicks :). It will be a nice visual to see little burning wicks all over the surface of the floor. A little bit romantic ... What I try to say is: 1. Grease (from the spell) is most likely combustible [B]under the certain conditions[/B] ! 2. It is unlikely that grease produces silikone grease.
